    This course surveys British literature from the late eighteenth century to contemporary British and post-colonial texts. Through a broad study of influential and significant works, representative genres and important critical approaches within historical and cultural contexts, this course builds students’ close reading skills and offers instruction in analytical, critical, and argumentative writing within the field of literary studies. Students will practice literary analysis, disciplinary research strategies, and proper documentation while developing an appreciation for the aesthetic qualities of literature written by British and post-colonial writers.
